Volunteer of the Week: Lauren Crupnick ’16 and Breana Derella ’16

Lauren
Crupnick ’16 and Breana Derella ’16 are the Kenney Community Center’s
Volunteers of the Week.

As
co-chairwomen of the College’s newly revamped Habitat for Humanity, they held
their first build winter term, and are currently organizing their next
fundraisers. On April 14, Habitat for Humanity will host a Bowl-A-Thon, and on
April 28 they will be holding a flag football tournament. Shirts will also be
sold in Reamer throughout the month.

A
psychology major from Dix Hills, N.Y., Crupnick participated in the community
service pre-orientation program this year. She volunteers at the Kenney Center’s
after school program, and is an active member of Colleges against Cancer, as
well as Big Brother Big Sister. In her hometown, she has organized a toy drive
through her high school for the past four years, donating them to a church and
the Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York. She is also a member of the women’s
golf team.

From
Glastonbury, Conn., Derella is an economics major and a member of the women’s
soccer team. Before Union, she tutored inner-city elementary school children
and volunteered at a retirement home.

“Habitat for Humanity is a club that teaches
everyone so much about themselves, our community, and perseverance. I could not
be more thrilled to be part of the club’s revival,” said Crupnick.
